If you like the heels you have and find your toes get caught when you slide wear socks with them. Also you can try other sizes or brands that might fit the toes better.
Boots have more support so if you find you keep rolling your ankles try doing some conditioning work like these.

My weak points are my wrists and shoulders. Have you tried doing targeted conditioning work for them? I avoid wearing wrist supports unless I plan on doing a bunch of handstand or split grip work in one session.
There are tons of exercises you can incorporate into your warm ups or after pole sessions Starting with hand strength and then work your way down there are 7 total in the conditioning section. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/b9b362ac-b880-11df-856f-001b214581be
Theses are great too https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/55fb40d9-2820-428d-b154-07990a9aa0eb

In my experience the newer xpoles flex more than the old. And the smaller the diameter the more flex you’ll get for sure. 40s flex more than 45 or 50 mm poles. You can post a video of it if you want use to be able to see how much flex it has.

Exciting! Remember you can always leave a question for me on any lesson 😀

The fixed mount is wonderful! I don’t know the numbers off hand tho

Yes, you can use a shorter piece to make it work. Just make sure you don’t have to over extend the screw to tighten the pole. ðŸ˜

I had a 3 finger diastasis after my 3rd baby and it grew juuust a little after my 4th. I didn’t have surgery and after training my core I recovered to about a pinky width 🙂 While I’m not saying that will be the case for you, I’m saying there’s hope and surgery isn’t always the way.
If it were me, I’d give the therapist a try for a bit and see if progress was made.
Your phyio will be able to help you determine what pole work would be ok and what to avoid, as many cases are unique. You should be able to start dancing but as with all my online students, the focus should be on holding the body correctly and this can be challenging even in “simple” pole work. If you’re taking the lessons here or are planning on it, be sure to follow all the cues I give, these will help!
